[. . . ] Press any of these blocks to select which channels are viewed in the fader strips below. 4. 1. 1 Channel Names The channel names are obtained from the PSS-450 mixer. They cannot be edited with "StageMix". The names are dimmed if the channel is switched off. Page 8 Yamaha Commercial Audio PSS-450 StageMix User Guide V1. 5 4. 1. 2 Faders Each fader has its channel number displayed on its cap. The fader cap must be touched to allow the level to be adjusted. The fader will not "jump" or "ramp" to a new position on the slider. When a fader cap is touched, its background will lighten and its current dB value will be displayed. Using the iPad's multi-touch facility, up to eight faders can be moved simultaneously. 4. 1. 3 Channel ON Press [ON] to change the on/off status of the channel. The button is green when the channel is on. When a channel is off, its name and level meter will go dim, and its fader position shown in the Navigation/Meter Bridge will also go dim. 4. 1. 4 CUE The [CUE] buttons for each channel control the mixer's cue functions. Their operation mode corresponds to the status of [LAST CUE] button on the left side of the Mixer Overview. If GEQ is available on a channel in addition to PEQ, the user will be able to view the curve for either of these EQs and access the editing screen for either type of EQ. Green and blue dots below each EQ curve indicate the types of EQ available on that channel, and the type of EQ (PEQ or GEQ) that is currently displayed for that channel. A green dot indicates PEQ and a blue dot indicates GEQ. When only PEQ is currently available on a channel, no dots will appear below the curve. (In Demo mode, GEQs appear on Mix busses 1, 7 and 8). In the example above: · Mix Bus 1 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and GEQ is currently being displayed (the blue dot is solid and the curve is blue). · Mix Bus 2 has both PEQ and GEQ available, and PEQ is currently being displayed (the green dot is solid and the curve is green). · Mix Busses 3-8 have only PEQ available so no dots are displayed below their EQ curves. Page 13 Yamaha Commercial Audio PSS-450 StageMix User Guide V1. 5 Changing the EQ Curve Display between PEQ and GEQ On any channel displaying both a green and blue dot below the EQ curve, the user can select either of those EQ types to be displayed by using a swipe gesture in the EQ curve area. If a PEQ curve is currently displayed, swiping from right to left will cause the GEQ curve to be displayed. If a GEQ curve is currently displayed, swiping from left to right will cause the PEQ curve to be displayed. Accessing the EQ Editing Screens To access the PEQ or GEQ Editing Screens, tap on the EQ curve to open the appropriate EQ Editing screen.
